Michelle Goodrich Obituary

Memorial service for Michelle Laux Goodrich, 43, Ormond Beach, will be today (Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2006), at 5 p.m. with Father Christopher Kulig as celebrant. Shelly was born Sept. 14, 1962, in Parma, Ohio, to Jeffery J. and Emily A. (Dedrick) Laux, and was called home by God on Thurs-day, Feb. 23, 2006. The Laux Family moved to this area in 1977 from Olmsted Falls, Ohio. Shelly dedicated her life to the service of others. She began this service as a cloistered nun, Sister Clare Marie, at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Birmingham, Ala., with Mother Angelica. Shelly continued her devotion to helping others as a critical cardiac care nurse at Memorial Hospital in Ormond Beach. In addition to her humanitarian work, she enjoyed the beach, boating, gardening and spending quality time with her daughter Mary. Left to cherish their memories of Shelly are, her daughter, Mary Goodrich; parents, Jeff and Emily Laux, Ormond Beach; sister, Kathy Moore, Chebanse, Ill.; brothers, Dan Laux, Daytona Beach, and Jeffery Laux Jr., Orlando; grandmother, Marie Dedrick, and Godfather, Thomas Dedrick, both of North Royalton, Ohio. Condolences may be shared with the family online at www.lohmanfuneralhomes.com. Arrangements are under the careful direction of Lohman Funeral Home Ormond.

Dear Jeff and Emily, My deepest sympathy to you both and all members of your family. I knew Michelle as Sister Clare Marie at Our Lady of Angels Monastary. She was always very special and I remember so well her laughter, her wit, and her devotion to God. I have a Rosary tape of all the good sisters from that period in time, and Sister Clare is there. My wife and I will offer prayers for her. May the Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Jeff & Emily:



I was very sad to learn from my mother of Shelly's passing and your loss. It has been many years since those seemingly always sunny childhood days of fun & friendship with Shelly on our Redwood Dr cul-de-sac. I am sorry that I never had a chance to reminisce with her about them. From what I've read online here and heard from my mother, it is clear that Shelly was not only much loved, but was devoted in her service and comfort others.



Please accept our condolences and know that our prayers are that you would all know the fullness of peace from the God of all comfort.



Sincerely,

Joan Reynolds

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Shelly was my nurse when I was in the cardiac unit exactly a year ago. She had so much compassion for everyone. I feel blessed to have been touched by her.

Dear Michelle,



I can't believe that you have been taken from us. You were loved and will be very missed.



Dear Mary,



Your mom loved you so much and you were always #1 in her life. She would never have left you. You were her best friend. She went without many things to make sure that you were happy. Keep the good memories of your mom, close to your heart. She was with us for such a short time, but our life was so enriched by having met her. You were lucky to have such an incredible mom.
